HORRIDBRUTALIT

The penitentIary investigation
brings to light acts of brutality hard.
~ surpassed under Russian des-
pot or under Imperial Roman
butcher. No matter under what
party humanity is outraged, the per
petrators should be brought to jus

and under the party shield the
greatest crimes are committed with
apparent salty from exposure and
punishment. As long as the worst
dead beat politicians and most
brutality ward sluggers have to be
provided for, so long will our public
institutions be turned into dens OF

houses Of debauchery. Yet there

AMERICAN FARMERs.
some Facts and Figures Ihat Tro'e
Their worth 10 the Nation.
New York Herald.l

New York Heralu.l
Very few people appreciate the i'm
Dortance Of American farming interests.
We hear the everlasting hum OF our
manufactures night and day, every
crater who talks about the splendor OF
this country refers in the most glowing
language to our workshops and mills and
looms and forges and trip hammers. But
ths farmer is seldom heard OF. He sits
Quietly 10 the background by the side
OF his plow and thrsshipg machine, as
though he we're OF little account. We
can easily recognize has value to the
nation, however. by a few figures which
may startle our ,resdsrs unless they
have already looked into the subject
with some care. OF our entire exports
"a per cent. comes from the ground aad
from mines, forests and fisheries, while
only l6 per cent. is the product OF ma
chinery. The cotton of the South and
the grain of the West holds dual con-
troll over our national prosperity. The
one keeps the spindles OF Engiand busy,
and the other feeds the world Europe,
has, therefore, almost as much interest
In the products OF American soil as we
have ourselves.
A loss Of these two crops for single
season wonld create q panic throughout
che civilized globe. There are IN Ameri'
ca over four million farms, large and
small. They cover nearly three hundred
million acres of improved land, and their
total value is something like ten thousand
million dollars. These figures are not, of
course, comprehensible. They simply
convey the idea Of vsstness OF area and
equal vastness of Importance. The esti-
mated value of the yearly product Of
these farms 10 between two and three
Thousand millions of dollars. What
America takes out Of the ground, there.
fore, has much to do with the prosperity
and happiness OF the nation. What helps
ths farmer helps US all. His welltilled
acres are the heart OF the Republic, and
each pulse drives the products of the
-couotry into every market on the planet.
Congress has been asked to establish an
experimental farm in every State and
Territory at cost OF $500 each. 1t
will encourage the tillers Of the soil, and
show them the results of methods which
they cannot afford to test for themselves.
1t will be money well spent. By all
sneans take good care of the farmers.

A Philadelphia doctor who was morti'
fed once because remarks were made on
account Of his taking little NIP" from
pocket flask, has invented a method OF
carrying Refreshments that is likely to
be popular in prohibition States. His
invention is little capsule of rubber
looking much like grape, which is filled
with wine or liquor and dstended until
IL assumes the form and semblance of a
large and juicy fruit. These grapes are
filed with a variety of bibulants-old
rye, whisky, Holland gin, port, sherry.
or cordials--to the extent OF about a
pony-glassful. The thin rubber breaks
as easily as grape skin between the
teeth, and no one would think they were
not real grapes.

A letter was recently received at the Treas
ury Department. from Mr. K. G. Head,
President Of the International Grange, ask
ing that an order be issued prohibiting the
importing of cattle in the United States
from all countries where contagious dis
eases exist. The Secretary has informed
him in reply that under existing Depart
ment regulations the importation of meat
cattle from all foreign countries Except
Canada) is only permitted under strict
quarantine. He says further: "a late
careful investigation made by this Depart
ment through the Department of State
shows conclusiyely that no infectious cattle
disease now exists in the Dominion Of Can
ada, and recent advices received from the
Commissioner Of Agriculture who under
law has charge OF all quarantine matters)
are to the effect that no contagious diseases
have been introduced into this country

pctt L. MYERS, of 81. Louis.

A Difficulty Between the X. Of l.. and Lig-
gett & Myers, of 81. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, January 1S.-On Saturday
last when John f. Liggett, President OF
the Liggctt & Meyers Tobacco Company,
learned of the strike Of Lorillard's, in Jer-
sey City, n. j., he remarked: whenever
there is one strike of this kind You will be
sure to hear of one or two following it. "
Yesterday Mr.. Liggetts prediction was
partially fulfilled when about $50 hands,
all of them X. of L., in the wrapping and
machine departments, struck work.
The firm had received no init
nation that their employees had any
complaint against them, and conld there
fore assign no cause for the strike. The
employees however stated that District As
sembly No. II, X. of L., had formulated
charges against the company, and later in
the day a committee from the district
waited upon Mr.. Myers TO talk over the
matter with him and attempt to
reach a settlement Of the difficulty.
Mr.. Myers, however, refused to
treat with any labor organization
or to re-employ any Of the strikers except
those who had been intimidated. In stop
ping work the strikers say that non-uniOn
men are being substituted for Knights of
Labor; that men are being discharged to
make place for girls at lower wages, and
that tho company contemplate wholesale
reduction in wages ranging from - to b
per cent.
About eleven hundred hands are en-
ployed in the factory, and it is expected
that unless some agreement is soon arrived
at between the company and the strikers,
the whole force will be called ont by the
Knights.

DAYTON, o., January 1S.-The family

the same day the father, the mother and
daughter become violently sick and
suffered great pain. The father and
mother have partially recovered
but are still in a dangerous state. The
daughter is in very critical condition
and there is but little hope of saving her
life. The physician says that the patients
have all the symptoms of poisoning by

meat to determine just what it was that
caused the trouble.
A dog was fed with the pigs feet and
died in cOnvulsiOns.
